Distinguishing accuracy and precision Four research teams measured the speed at which signals travel down a certain type of nerve fiber and what each team wrote in its team notebook is shown in the table below Suppose a later and more reliable measurement gives 75 0 m s for the signal speed in the same type of nerve fiber Decide which of the earlier measurements was the most accurate and which was the most precise team A B C D what was written in the notebook 70 0m s 65 0m s 0 5m s 85 m s 6 0 between 70 0m s and 75 0m s Alexi most accurate measurement most precise measurement
